Moving forward on our knees
Dear Members of Trinity,
Maybe you have experienced this, but I can catch myself talking more about
prayer than praying. Other times I am striving to problem solve instead of
stopping and asking for a miracle. I want to provide you with an opportunity
to pray with us as I give you a snapshot of our movements in the Twin Cities.
- U of M Twin Cities - 17 students are applying for our summer long or year
long missions trips, which is a blessing. Currently though our senior student
leaders lack vision for leading well.
- Epic at Century College - Epic is our ministry to Asian American students
and just launched this fall. God has blessed us with male student leaders but
we are seeking females as well. We would love to see the whole Asian
American student body presented with the reality of Christ this year.
- Epic at St. Paul College - We are just now launching and trusting the Lord
to provide a person of peace to give us an “in.”
- Bridges at the U of M - Bridges is our ministry to international students
from the 10/40 Window and every year the Lord provides great student
leaders. We would love students to take more ownership and really run with
the ministry this semester.
- Impact at the U of M - Impact is our ministry to African American students
and has been student led and small up to this year. The Lord provided two
interns to serve this year though. Pray they thrive, make an eternal difference
and walk closely with the Lord.
- Athletes in Action at the U of M - This is our ministry to athletes and has
been growing every year. “God, give us greater impact athletes that can
influence their team which can influence their campus.”
- Our global partnerships - Our region has adopted many cities and
committed to send laborers to their top universities. Paris, the Middle East,
North Africa, Eastern Europe, three locations in East Asia, Brisbane, Miami
and more. “Lord, send harvesters as only you can do and transform campuses
that will transform cities!”
- University of St. Thomas - We are praying for over 40 freshmen to join our
movement but are at 12 currently.
- U W River Falls - A great senior class is leading well but the movement is
not reaching freshman effectively.
- St. Olaf College - Cru has a great partnership with another ministry on
campus, which is a blessing. We have several men’s and women’s Bible
studies we lead. We are praying for an advisor so we can become a
recognized student group.
- Concordia University St. Paul - Cru is hoping to launch this semester and
we have one person of peace thus far. Need him to hear from the Holy Spirit
that he is to lead.
- St. Catherine University - Cru has a good student leader and involved
students. We are praying for growth in the movement to reach more students.
- North Hennepin Community College - We have a great advisor but are
having trouble connecting with him this semester. This is hindering Cru
leading the movement there.
- Century College - Lots of involved students but the three leaders lack
alignment to Cru. We want to see focused ministry and not just ministry.
- Normandale Community College - The Lord provided the perfect student
leader this year but are seeking his successor to take over after spring break.
This will make for a smoother transition of leading the movement well.
- Inver Hills Community College - The Lord has blessed the numbers of
involved students this year. We are having trouble connecting with the
student leaders currently and desire to coach them well.
- Anoka Ramsey Community College - We have one leader and an advisor. It
would be great if the Lord brought in more than a handful of involved
students this semester.
- Trained volunteers - To help us reach all 28 schools in the Twin Cities we
continue to seek volunteers. Join us in praying that we would be led to the
right people and that they would respond to the challenge to run with us!
Jesus saves,
Steven & Robin
